Notes: Platform sandals from Prada’s groundbreaking Spring/Summer 1997 collection, these shoes merge sleek minimalism with industrial utility. An adaptation of the velvet versions shown on the runway, this rare iteration reimagines the silhouette in technical nylon and smooth leather—making them more suited for urban life, daily wear, and warm-weather practicality. The utilitarian construction, with durable Velcro straps and a sturdy platform sole, reflects Miuccia Prada’s vision of “real” clothing and footwear: functional yet deeply conceptual. Designed with city living in mind, these sandals walk the line between pragmatism and intellectual design, embodying Prada’s early exploration of subversive, work-ready luxury.
